Am I Balding?

[dowdy85]

I’m 33 male and have had full hair all my life. All men in family have had full set of hair until 60’s when they formed widow’s peaks. I recently used just for men shampoo several times a week for 4 months until I noticed hair falling out - 10 to 15 per day. It’s been 2 months now without it and natural hair products and it is still falling out, mostly at root but some breakage. Here’s a picture of top of head. Am I balding?

It is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day. No obvious signs of balding in your picture. 33 and a full head of hair, you're one if the lucky ones. Enjoy it!

Diffuse33 is right - on average, we shed around 100 hairs a day. So not only are the 10-15 you're noticing not a reason to be alarmed, but based on the photo you seem to have an extremely full head of healthy hair.
